It is 1945 and the war is over. Everyone is celebrating, except for Dot. War is all she has ever known, and she is worried by this strange thing called peace. Above all, Dot is terrified of the return home of her father - the man with the paper face. Written from an unusual and interesting perpespective, Paper Faces looks at the difficulty of accepting someone back into a family after a long separation, and explores the idea that a war isn't necessarily over just because the fighting has stopped.

- The novel presents social history at a very personal and accessible level.

- Features a strong-minded child heroine with whom readers will identify

- Rachel Anderson has written several very well respected novels which take war as their theme, including Warlands and The War Orphan.
